When we hung up our Halloween pails and bags decades ago, we thought we were retiring from our candy-hogging, trick or treating ways for good.

But if you have kids around, you’re forced to come out of Halloween retirement and play chaperone to the little trick-or-treaters. This usually entails keeping up with the children and their inexhaustible energy, trudging through street blocks in search of generous homeowners, and basically making sure the kids get home safely and with a decent candy haul.

So to help keep you on your toes (cause it’s like a lot of walking), we rounded up ten of our best bets for comfy fall flats on a budget to keep you comfortable while you and the gang make your rounds this coming Halloween. Believe us, your feet (and your sanity!) will thank us for it.
